Powerful Tools for Seamless Transactions
Miva gives you full control over how you manage shipping, payments, and taxes—three of the most critical pieces of running an ecommerce business. These systems are built into the platform and are designed to support a wide range of business models, from straightforward retail setups to more complex, multi-region operations.
Shipping in Miva is flexible and highly configurable. You can offer real-time rates through popular carriers like UPS, FedEx, USPS, and Canada Post, or set up your own custom rates based on weight, price, quantity, or destination. You can create flat-rate options, tiered pricing, free shipping thresholds, or shipping promotions tied to specific products or order totals. If you use fulfillment partners or dropshippers, Miva supports multiple warehouses and origin addresses, allowing you to route orders and calculate shipping accordingly. You can also give customers estimated delivery windows and let them choose from multiple shipping methods during checkout.
Versatile Payment Options
When it comes to payments, Miva supports a wide variety of gateways out of the box—including Authorize.net, PayPal, Braintree, Square, and many others. You can accept all major credit cards, offer PayPal or digital wallets, and support alternative payment methods like Amazon Pay or Buy Now Pay Later services. For businesses with more complex needs, Miva allows you to customize the checkout experience, offer customer-specific payment terms, and even support multiple payment captures for split shipments or backorders.
Powerful Tax Management
Taxes can be handled as simply or as precisely as you need. Miva supports flat tax rates for businesses that operate in a single region, but also integrates with tax services like Avalara for automated, real-time tax calculation based on current rules and jurisdictions. You can apply tax rules based on product type, customer group, location, or shipping address, and Miva helps you manage tax-exempt customers and generate reporting for compliance.
Together, these systems give you the flexibility to align with your operational requirements while keeping things fast and seamless for your customers. Whether you're shipping locally or globally, working with retail customers or B2B accounts, Miva gives you the tools to deliver a polished, professional checkout experience backed by robust order management.
